No need to cast.

Why does it matter?

Ick, never poke around in a dentry from debugfs if you can help it.  You
know you are being renamed, why does it matter to check or not?

Don't poke around in the dentry for the parent here either.  That feels
racy and wrong.  Isn't there some other way to get the parent?

Also you can look up the dentry for this, no need to have it saved, like
I said in patch 2.
